Implement a state machine to control a two-person battle system
Modify existing character objects with special abilities using the Decorator pattern

Who this book is forThis book is your perfect companion if you're a Unity game developer looking to level up your C# skills and embrace industry standards for building robust games. Knowledge of Unity and basic C# programming is recommended.

Harrison Ferrone was born in Chicago, IL. Most days, you can find him creating instructional content for LinkedIn Learning or trying to learn something new. He holds various fancy looking pieces of paper from the University of Colorado at Boulder and Columbia College Chicago, and despite being a proud alumnus, most of these are stored in a basement somewhere. After a few years as an iOS developer at small start-ups, and one Fortune 500 company, he fell into a teaching career and never looked back. Throughout all this, he's bought many books, acquired a few cats, worked abroad, and continually wondered why Neuromancer isn't on more course syllabi
